Lisa Thompson Joins Greg McDonough to Talk High-Altitude Leadership and Emotional Endurance

Train your emotional endurance. Build your capacity to regulate emotions during high-stress situations. Whether you're climbing a mountain or leading a company, staying calm under pressure is a learned skill.

Lead with compassion, not control. Empower your team by meeting them where they are. Great leaders don’t demand perfection; they create space for growth.

Honor the recovery phase. After achieving big goals, schedule time to decompress, reflect, and realign. Avoid jumping into the next challenge too quickly.

Build genuine global relationships. Seek out deep, trust-based connections, whether through work, adventure, or shared purpose, and invest in those relationships beyond the transaction.

Align impact with action. Find ways to give back through your pursuits. Purpose-driven work, whether philanthropic or team-focused, will energize you far beyond any summit.

Break big goals into small wins. When the challenge feels overwhelming, simplify your focus. Use micro-goals and visual anchors to stay motivated and make progress.
